The pleasure evoked by sad music is mediated by feelings of being moved
2017
Why do we enjoy listening to music that makes us sad? This question has puzzled music psychologists for decades, but the paradox of “pleasurable sadness” remains to be solved. Recent findings from a study investigating the enjoyment of sad films suggest that the positive relationship between felt sadness and enjoyment might be explained by feelings of being moved (Hanich et al., 2014). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether feelings of being moved also mediated the enjoyment of sad music. In Experiment 1, 308 participants listened to five sad music excerpts and rated their liking and felt emotions. A multilevel mediation analysis revealed that the initial positive relations…

Music Education as a Tool to Improve Socio-emotional and Intercultural Health within Adverse Contexts in El Salvador
2017
Abstract Educators must address emotional, affective, social and intercultural health, taking into account learners’ specific cultural and economic context in their teaching. This article discusses the experience in la Comunidad Iberia in San Salvador (El Salvador), one of the most conflict-ridden areas in the country. Here, educators created a music education program as a tool to prevent violence and improve the students’ socio-emotional health. This group's lives had been characterized by affective, economic, emotional and intercultural deprivation, which prompted feelings of disdain for their own culture. The process followed led them to consider music as an instrument to improve their s…

We reflect critically on our own photo-narrative study by asking such questions as: In what ways can the photo-narrative method be seen as a participative method? How were the various power relations between the child and the researcher actualized? What methodological and ethical challenges did we encounter during the research process? The study data were photographs and narratives by eight children and young people (aged 4 to 15 years),…
Performers’ experienced emotions in the construction of expressive musical performance: An exploratory investigation
2010
Does a performer feel sad when s/he performs a sad piece of music, or does s/he perform sadness? Not much is known about the relationship between felt and performed emotions in performing musicians. Some studies emphasize the importance of feeling the emotions; others underline the idea of planned expressiveness. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a performer’s experienced emotions and the construction of a musically expressive performance. Eight music students (mean age: 20.9, SD: 1.13) completed an introductory, semi-structured interview; a monitoring period during which they filled out an Individual Playing Diary; and an in-depth, semi-structured inter…
